[MMM-Dreambox] to connect a Dreambox or a Enigma2 Receiver (like VU or VU+) to MagicMirror and stream stations via omxplayer

AxLed

I did some modification to the dev branch.

Modified/fixed:

error if used Dreambox-IP with a port
errors showing up in node_helper.js

Now i can use my dreambox with a different port and the data requests (with defined port) and streaming (with port :8001) works correctly.

Can you please try with your tuners?

With “apiBase: ‘http://192.168.178.28’”, I get “http:8001”.

pi@MagicPi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Dreambox $ ps -eaf | grep omxplayer | grep -v grep
pi       30691 30252  2 23:09 ?        00:00:00 /bin/sh -c omxplayer  --vol -6000 --win 0,625,590,957 --live http:8001/1:0:1:2F08:441:1:C00000:0:0:0:

BUT …
With “apiBase: ‘http://192.168.178.28:80’”, I get “http://192.168.178.28:8001” and streaming works.

Observations:

Streaming is working.
The first time DB-PLAY: one service only.

Changing services is not possible using DB-SERVICE-NEXT.

Stopping with DB-STOP, then DB-SERVICE-NEXT and then DB-PLAY: two streams again.

Got into a situation where DB-PLAY caused my second tuner (what I was seeing on my regular TV) changed channel to the selected service.

The “now playing” line still shows the service from the other tuner, but if you have a single tuner, then it will be difficult to change this.
Perhaps I will find something on this topic.

So, I guess that for a single Dreambox tuner everything works fine, but that there are odd behaviours when you have a multiple tuner (a dual tuner in my case).

I would concentrate now on getting it to work for VU+ devices.
If I could, I would help you, but I still fail to see where and how the parsing of the xml data is done.

I can fix the “http:8001” problem, if i find some time, so the module works for single tuner dreamboxes again.
If you use the module (dev branch) with VU+, what happens?

@AxLed sorry for not being so much available lately, but apart from work and mirror assembly (the ‘baby’ is going to born into the next days if everything goes well… :crossed_fingers_medium-light_skin_tone: ) I see that @evroom is much more skilled and suitable for the debugging. :grimacing_face:

I hope that everything will be sorted soon and thanks @AxLed for taking care into it.

I still see ‘Error’ on the Mirror.
No errors in the pm2 logs.

Testing is no problem.
It is a pity I cannot help with real debugging.
Oddly enough I do programming for REST api’s on a professional level, but for that I use Perl.
Also puts me off a bit in going deeper into the MMM modules stuff, but I think that applies to more persons (8 hours a day behind the computer at work and sitting being that thing again in you spare time is sometimes too much :-) ).

Hope that the ‘baby’ will be a real baby and I wish you and your partner all the best.

@AxLed

I noticed that after ‘Error’ there was a short other message.
I had to set the refresh time to 1 second and to capture numerous time before I could capture 1 error message:

Error: null in http://192.168.178.47/web/about

It can be that there are more errors or just this one.

I will send you some xml files by mail.

Lol no it’s actually my first MM mirror. :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye:

If there will be any improvement into getting Vu+ devices to work I will be trying it in a Duo² dual DVB-S / DVB-T tuner decoder.

Hahahaha :-)
You got me there !!!
I did notice the baby in quotes, but the ‘born’ and ‘if everything goes well’ twisted my mind.
Very funny.

Well, in fact there are simularities:
It takes a while before it can walk.
It crashes sometimes, but always recovers.
It causes problems on daily basis.
It can cause you to sleep bad.
But you still love it.

@evroom

I did some furter bugfixing:

bugfixing the “http:8001” problem

Please check the dev branch of my module:
Rename your MMM-Dreambox folder to _MMM-Dreambox (for example)
do a git clone --branch dev https://github.com/Ax-LED/MMM-Dreambox.git in your modules folder

Now the module should work with dreambox, no matter if the dreambox uses a separat port or not.
